DAVIS TO SERVE AS RACE AMBASSADOR FOR CASEY CARES FOUNDATION 5K RUN/WALK ON AUGUST 6, 2016

Chris Davis will serve as race ambassador for the seventh annual Casey Cares 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, August 6, as the Orioles and OriolesREACH once again partner with the Casey Cares Foundation to host the race. Davis and his wife, Jill, a former nurse, have supported Casey Cares for several years. Davis has previously attended the organization's Extra Innings Event, where critically-ill children and their families meet with Orioles players to learn the fundamentals of baseball. Davis will be attending the Extra Innings Event again this year.

The 3.1 mile run/one mile walk starts at 8:00 a.m. and begins at Oriole Park and ends on the field. Participants will partake in a pre-race warm-up with the Oriole Bird, music, and other entertainment, and will enjoy post-race refreshments. Top race winners and the top fundraiser will be announced in a pre-game ceremony prior to the August 16 game against the Boston Red Sox.

All proceeds will benefit the Casey Cares Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides personalized, uplifting, and ongoing programs with a special touch to critically-ill children and their family members throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Over the past three years since moving to Oriole Park, the race has raised more than $298,000.

You may run or walk with your stroller, however strollers are NOT permitted on the field. Runners and walkers may leave strollers at the stroller drop-off area outside of Gate D.

Awards and Prizes - Race winners in each age group will receive medals in a post-race ceremony. Top Male, Top Female, and Top Fundraiser will be proudly announced in a pregame ceremony prior to the Orioles game on August 16.
